Stage 7 — Connect to GitHub

Create an empty repository on github.com and tell your local project where it lives.

What You'll Learn

• What a remote is
• How to create an empty GitHub repository
• git remote add origin <url>
• git remote -v

Prerequisites

• You finished Stage 6.
• You have a GitHub account. If not, sign up at github.com.

What Changes

No project files change. You create a brand-new repository on GitHub and attach it to your local repo as the remote named origin. Nothing has been uploaded yet.

Outcome

• An empty repository exists at https://github.com/<your-username>/box-runner.
• git remote -v prints two lines showing the fetch and push URLs for origin.
• The webpage is unchanged.
